NVC Filers-April 2016

[MrsBurgz 104]

Just got my NOA2 yesterday so I may or may not be an April NVC filer. So happy I found this forum!

What is the validity period of a Police Clearance certificate in Pakistan? I got mine in the last week of November. If I get a June interview would my certificate be still valid or would I need a new one?

Police certificate from Pakistan is not required by NVC. It clearly states that in the country reciprocity schedule. I have seen many cases been approved by NVC without it. I am not at NVC stage myself but I will not be providing one with my IV docs, as it is not required.

I am so sorry to hear of your delays. So what again is the problem with your two PCC's.

Well know I will still be here waiting for you. I'm that cheerleader at the finish line waiting until the last marathoner crosses. You are not alone okay.

**Note: I may pass out next week I have 8 days to interview. Lord help me.

I was debating whether to put my issue up because there are so many people celebrating and I don't want to be a downer. However, I guess it's a learning opportunity of some kind of anyone else that might have to go through this.

They keep asking for Liberia and Nigeria PCC's.

My husband only lived in Nigeria for 6 months so a PCC isn't needed as per the DOS website.

Yes, husband lived in Liberia for several years, however being a non National and a non Resident, trying to obtain one is pretty much a dead end. Even the DOS' Reciprocity Schedule says "Applicants not resident in Liberia can request that their biographic information and fingerprints be sent to the Liberia National Police via the police headquarters of their home country, however, in practice, these requests are rarely completed."

After the first checklist, I called and spoke with a Supervisor and she agreed to both points and said I should not have been checklisted for either of those and would put a note in the system stating that. However, looks like she didn't because the agents I spoke with didn't see it in there. even when I tell them she would have entered it on March 17th if not the 18th. All they see is she sent it back to the Document Review department. that Supervisor also said for me to send a letter stating Liberia was unobtainable as my husband currently resides in India and to include what the DOS website says. I did exactly that for both Nigeria and Liberia. I included screen shots with reference to their website that clearly shows Previous Country of Residence is at least 1 year for Nigeria and then what I quoted above for Liberia.

It's a mess. the second girl I spoke with yesterday, Fay, said there seems to be a lot of loose ends because the system only showed my documents were pending review yet a checklist was issued. I asked if I could speak with a supervisor and she was kind of ugly about it saying, "what are you going to ask the supervisor that I haven't already discussed with you?" so I was a little bit stern myself and said, "I want to ask her why i'm being checklisted again on documents that shouldn't have been even when I follow a Supervisor's instructions on how to get this resolved." so that's when she put me on hold for almost 10 minutes. she SAID (i'm hoping I should believe her) she went and sat with a supervisor and explained my situation (I don't know why she didn't let me talk with her directly and explain myself) and the supervisor pulled up my DS-260 and said she agreed on Nigeria but the application shows he lived in Liberia for several years and that's why it was asked for. I explained again that Liberia is unobtainable and I sent a letter stating that with reference to their Reciprocity schedule back with the original package in February and again last month! By the end of the conversation, Fay was feeling sorry for me and said she would take down my case number and check to make sure a supervisor was reviewing my case file. Again, not sure if I should believe that or not. She said she can't do anything because she can't see my documents and only a supervisor can close out the case and she needs my file physically in front of her to do that. That's when I asked her about the documents being scanned. She said only the cover sheet with the bar code gets scanned to notify the system that more documents have been received. they don't actually scan all the documents into the system.

I would think a supervisor would know what's on their own website and their own rules!

All I can do is wait and pray that the supervisor actually looks at my case quickly.

Long winded/all over the place answer, but there it is. back to square one, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

USPS Express is 1 or 2 day.. However the processing time is "up to" 21 days (as opposed to the "up to" 7 days for online processing)

LinJoe,

You are so thorough and good. Stay on them and try to get the Supervisor's name if you can. Check often so that too much time doesn't pass so they know you are inquiring about your case status. I pray also, the Supervisor will review quickly and complete your case. Keep your head up!!!! Your time will come very soon!!!!

I'm able to get in now too - you're all welcome, because I JUST got back from the post office after mailing my money orders ( I was able to call and have them stop sending, now I just need to refund the money orders! )

Congratulations. I have added you to the spreadsheet. Come over to the interview thread.

I would have missed this CC if I didn't look closer.

Thank you.

Nah, don't worry about that! You're still helping ppl out on here even tho things are so very difficult for you at the moment. And that's awesome of you! So if you need to vent or rant it's perfectly fine too ☺

Really hoping they will resolve your issue extra quick!
